Charlotte’s comedy scene continues to heat up this spring as rising stand-up and impressionist Austin Nasso brings his fast-growing national tour to the Queen City.
Nasso is set to perform multiple shows at The Comedy Club at Duckworth’s from May 7–9, 2026, with showtimes spread across the weekend to meet demand.
A Comedian Built for the Internet Era
Nasso isn’t your traditional stand-up comic.
A former software engineer, he’s built a massive following online through sharp impressions, tech satire, and highly shareable short-form videos. That background gives his comedy a unique angle—blending Silicon Valley culture with everyday absurdity.
He’s also gained national exposure as a recurring guest on The Howard Stern Show and as co-creator of the touring “Tech Roast Show,” which pokes fun at the biggest personalities and companies in tech.
The result: a comedian who feels tailor-made for the current moment—where tech, culture, and humor collide daily.
What to Expect in Charlotte
Fans attending the Charlotte shows can expect:
sharp celebrity and tech-industry impressions observational humor rooted in modern life crowd work and fast-paced delivery material that blends internet culture with stand-up storytelling
Nasso’s performances tend to resonate especially well with younger audiences and professionals working in tech, media, or creative industries—but his humor remains accessible to a broader crowd.
